giygusattackIt's just the general blandness of his comic that makes everyone hate him, right? He didn't rape or kill anyone did he?

BHWWOne I saw that was posted all over the place by the usual "OMG so funnay you guys" suspects, Inman buys a Tesla car

whoops, sorry "An Intergalactic Spaceboat of Light and Wonder", another asinine comic where he gleefully depicts himself as a pudgy, manchildish blob-person lording it over car-guys with their unfancy vehicles, and spends the rest of the comic painting himself as another childish nerd with a MOTHERFUCKING EPIC SCIENCE FOR THE MOTHERBITCHING WIN!-level "appreciation" of science who also cannot deal with life without an Apple-style tech-toy interface.

Also, another warning sign, he goes super-sperg gaga about Tesla, another sure sign of nerd dementia. Tesla deserves respect for his scientific and engineering work, but he was also a loner nut who misled people.

Asides from all this, The Oatmeal is deliberately aimed at pandering mediocrity by Inman, he's more or less said The Oatmeal being an actual humor-comic comes in a distant second to being reposted to people's Facebook walls and generating revenue by advertising merchandise like the super-cool Tesla car!
